The size in the. Link. 1.6 by 3 mm. If memory serves

Also like they are fully stainless steel instead of chrome plated.

Does this look correct?

Hello

My name is TomCatt ... and ... uh ... well I'M A TOOTLE PUFFER! :blush:

I've always been a Tootle Puffer, even back in the good old days when I was building my own box mods.
I vape strictly DIY peppermint at ~2.5 ohms and 6.5 watts. I've been doin' it since shortly after I started vaping and dang it, I'll keep on doin' it!

Howdy!

I have the screws from ebay, and I have changed out all my spare kfl's, and I'm in the process of changing out the ones I have in service as I change out the coils. They are working great, and easy to use.
I got some too and they are nice!

So you dont know how well they work trapping the leads.

I got my eBAy screws Saturday i looked at them. But wasnt sure how trapping leads would work. To me there seems to less space under the head than the Amazon screws. Next time i build i will swap out screws and try the screws

I just placed an order for the screws from Amazon, cause I wanted them quickly.

They trap the wire just fine. I use 30 - 29 gage wire, and no problems.

How do they work at trapping leads? That's my concern.
They do a lot better for me due to the screw head compared to the screws that came with my nectar. My screwdriver would always slip.

I just placed an order for the screws from Amazon, cause I wanted them quickly. Would like to try the other screws from China but I don't need or want 100 of them. Got any you wouldn't mind sharing? Splitting costs?

:)

The ones I got from ebay were only a couple of bucks. If these also fit the V4, 100 won't be enough.

Works fine for me with 33 gauge wire.

Sugar:

You dont have to order 100 of them. I only ordered 20 or 25. Quite reasonable.

I use 26. Can someone try 26 gauge? The amazon screws work but they need a regular screw driver. I wish they had Phillips or hex head.

What gauge wire do you use. 26 is tge gauge i prefer. Sub ohm builds are hard to build on 28 or 30 gauge wire.

My juice and vape temp works perfectly for me with .8 ohms and 8 watts with 26 gauge kanthal. Plus extra durability of the coil.

I tried 25 gauge. Too slow to heat up.

I tried 28 gauge every decent coil came out at 1.2-1.35. And a few times i wrecked the coil getting the wick out.

I dont want to have to build every 4-6 days.

They do a lot better for me due to the screw head compared to the screws that came with my nectar. My screwdriver would always slip.
